What's Nesting?

Well, let's just say it's a roller coaster of cleaning everything from top to bottom, and doing things you normally would put off for weeks or even months (if you're anything like me), all to prepare your home for the little bundle of joy. Whew! With that said, here's a list of "nesting"tasks I am telling myself I MUST DO as soon as physically, emotionally and accurately as possible...

1. Print out photos from events ranging from 2007-this past Christmas
2. Frame & hang those photos, or put them snuggly into a photo album
3. Finish James' room (A BIG TASK TO FINISH) which includes: Paint James' bookshelf, hang paintings and other "Cowboy/Indian" themed objects, start/finish his shadow box, buy a soft lit lamp, wash his remaining sheets, blankets & clothes
4. Paint the newly purchased raw wood IKEA kitchen table chairs
5. Secure the bookcases to the wall in the living room
6. Make sure the BBQ is put together & on the balcony for all those yummy meals we can't wait to enjoy this summer! 
7. Take Teddy to get groomed one last time before James' gets here
8. Take any extra plates, clothes, linen etc. we aren't using to the Goodwill
9. Purchase a lamp for the living room
10. Hang the mirror in the living room

And I think that might be it, but who knows, the list might grow 2x by tomorrow! 

Here's a sneak peek of James' room. More photos to come soon! (And I mean REAL SOON!)
